Had a long day today taking out a series of trees that had seen better days - and decided to hire in a chipper..! I've used them a fair bit in the past, but have usually used Timberwolf but the hire company dropped off a TP160 tracked chipper, and words failed me ...! Its swallowed everything I've pushed into it and being tracked it had made life a breeze - if you need to ever hire something like this I can't recommend them enough. This is it swallowing an 8m Leyllandi in one go.

Just to close this issue had my first load delivered today, 4" down, got a nice levelled site entrance now which should pay dividends for all future deliveries. Next load coming tomorrow morning.

About £110 a day, £500 for a week. It was unbelievable how it just chewed up the Leyllandi and other stuff. Last thing though was a 6" holly trunk and it didn't even blink !

Wilkobury, if it were me I would resubmit revision A to the LPA and ask them after a few weeks what they intend to do. When they say they will refuse the application ask your local councillor for their support. Go through the whole process with the councillor and ask them to put it to the Planning Committee. It will require you or a representative to speak for three minutes outlining your case to the committee. I also hand delivered a copy of my plans and details to each member of the planning committee a week before the hearing. It worked for me after my appeal was refused and might be worth a try. Good luck.

There is a 2% chance I may be off beam here if my assumptions are wrong, but... The PINS don't decide Planning Applications; they rule on the validity Planning Decisions taken (or not taken in time) by LPAs by applying Planning Law, Precedent, Policy and Practice. My initial reaction is that someone has misdirected you in telling you that you can go to Appeal with an amended scheme, which has not been considered by the Council. It can happen but is truly exceptional. It looks to me that your Appeal has been rejected when the Planning Inspector ran into the first impact of your decision to try and appeal using an amended scheme, which should have gone to the Council and been rejected first before being eligible for Appeal. Surely by definition you cannot Appeal a decision which has not been allowed to be made? Unless you meet the conditions for an exception to the rule, which in my opinion would have required expert planning advice. Whether that can be done is governed by something called the Wheatcroft Principle. See Section 3.1 and Appendix M of this document: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/544036/Procedural_Guide_Planning_appeals_v8_0.pdf And this for an example of how Planning Consultants think they can use (= usually exploit / manipulate) it to get an Appeal by making just enough changes: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/544036/Procedural_Guide_Planning_appeals_v8_0.pdf IMO, not having followed normal procedure, your potential claim is likely to be against whoever advised you to Appeal with an altered scheme. Unless it was a valid exception to the normal process. Of course, you could use your free resubmission (timescale limit?) as a way to get a new Appeal, but if you do not have the expertise yoruself, get some advice if you have not already done so. A new Planning App refused would be a new Appeal and a new Case. My sympathy, but you probably tried to use the process in an inappropriate way. Ferdinand

I've just taken delivery of 1 metric tonnes of IKEA PAX wardrobes - 13.75 linear m of wardrobes for 4 bedrooms and a dressing room. Was the cheapest option vs getting the joiner to make them from MDF or using other brands. Just need to put it all together now...

You can always go back to hairdressing

Apart from the smoke, CO and CO2 I will only require one temp sensor Sensor cost - Approx £50,000 Sensor Value - Priceless SWMBO can sense temp variations of 0.01 degree and reacts to them within 0.1 of a second. Data logged (Forever) Aggregated Data (this house is freezing)

I hope this isn't a stupid question, but why do you want to log all this information? What are you going to do with it?
